Community Transport
What is Community Transport?
Community Transport schemes are set up to serve people who do
not have access to conventional transport or are unable to use
it.
What Community Transport options are there?
Door to Door - Often referred to as Dial a
Ride, and needs to be pre-booked by individuals who become members
of the organisation providing the transport. The service provides
individual members with door to door transport either using
minibuses or cars (see Community Car Schemes) and can be used for a
number of trip purposes.
Community Bus Services - Minibuses operated by
volunteers and paid drivers serve regular routes to published
timetables. They are available to all members of the general
public. They also operate a variety of other journeys to
address local needs.
Minibus Group Travel - Vehicles owned by
community groups are made available to other local organisations
for low cost hire. Can be used for a number of different
purposes, including leisure, education and sport.
Community Car Schemes - An organised form of
lift giving, where volunteers use their own cars to provide
door-to-door journeys for people without transport.
Passengers are charged a rate per mile for their journeys to
cover drivers' costs.
Wheels To Work - Providing a low cost moped to
allow people over 16 to access work, training or education.
